The Legendary Standard for Full-Bodied Flavor
The Oliva Serie V Liga Especial is a modern classic that has set the benchmark for full-bodied Nicaraguan cigars since its debut in 2007. Consistently earning stellar ratings, including multiple 94+ scores and a coveted spot in Cigar Aficionado’s Top 5, the Serie V is celebrated by seasoned smokers for its exceptional complexity, power, and smoothness. It is a true masterpiece from the Oliva family, crafted by a small team of their most expert rollers.
This legendary blend features a complex core of Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos, highlighted by specially fermented Jalapa Valley Ligero leaves known for their robust character. This powerful filler is secured with a Nicaraguan binder and cloaked in a stunning, high-priming Ecuadorian Habano Sun Grown wrapper. The result is a flawlessly constructed cigar that delivers an unforgettable and remarkably balanced full-bodied experience.
A Rich and Complex Symphony of Flavors
From the first light, the Oliva Serie V Liga Especial delivers a rich and dynamic flavor profile. A powerful yet smooth wave of rich coffee and dark, unsweetened chocolate coats the palate, beautifully balanced by undertones of spice, cedar, and roasted nuts. As the smoke progresses, subtle hints of vanilla, pepper, and earth emerge, adding layers of complexity without ever becoming overpowering. The finish is long and satisfying, making the Serie V a true icon in the world of premium cigars.
